How to Obtain a Building Permit for a Backflow Prevention Device from the City of Ottawa

Maillet Engineering Incorporated is the "GO TO" engineering firm in Ottawa for industrial, commercial, institutional and multi-residential properties. Since the Backflow Prevention Program was brought in requiring buildings to have backflow prevention, Maillet Engineering has submitted hundreds of design documents to the City of Ottawa in order to obtain building permits. The City program knows us well and we have a fantastic working relationship with their team overseeing this department.

Obtaining a Building Permit for a Backflow Prevention Device is a simple process to follow; one we can guide you through should you wish. If you require a survey we can get that done for you, or if you allready have your survey, we can start from there. Generally we have a 1-2 day turnaround after we go to your site to inspect. Your plumber, your organiation or ourselves can submit the design documents to the City to obtain a permit and then you are good to go to have the plumbing completed. We will provide a final inspection and boom you are done.

Our engineering fees are low as we have a department strictly focusing on the Backflow Prevention Program. Give us a call - we are professional, have over 45 years expertise in this area and can get it done quickly so that you have your building permit in hand.
